Rhetoric, rhetoric, rhetoric. You touched on it at the end but what is needed is rhetoric. The unions, fire department have the rhetoric of job protection and safety. Countering that with our own narratives, which you excellently do, must be amplified ten fold.

Gives me inspiration to get back on to tiktok and make wonky videos.
